3. ABOUT TED.IDEAS WORTH SPREADING
TED began in 1984 as a gathering place
for innovators and leaders in the fields of
Technology, Entertainment and Design.
29 years later, TED has become a nexus
for a global community of individuals who
believe in the power of Ideas Worth
Spreading.
TED.com currently has a library of over
1.500 amazing talks of such high quality
that the site has become the platinum
standard for innovation in digital
storytelling. (have a look yourself on

HOW IT STARTED

4. Some very familiar faces.And some not so familiar, but as stunningly significant as the ones you already know.
TED HAS MOBILZED SOME OF THE WORLD‘S THOUGHT LEADERS TO SHARE AND COLLABORATE.

8. ABOUT US.AND HERE COMES TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED
has created a program called TEDx -
local, self-organized events that bring
people together to share a TED-like
experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live
speakers combine to spark deep
discussion and connection in a small
group.
These local, self-organized events are
branded TEDx, where x=independently
and self-organized TED event.
